Allow Secondary AUTHID and Patterns in AUTHID column of the RLF tables

In order to make administration of the RLF tables easier, we would like to be able to enter a Secondary Authid or an ID Pattern. Secondary AUTHIDs would allow us to use definitions in the Security Manager to accommodate resource limits for many ID...

Enable alter partition values on XML tables

We use a lot of XML tables today on our environment. We need to alter the limitkey defined for partitions in DB2. According to the manual, the DB2 correct behavior is to return sqlcode -109 when alter table partition (XML TABLE) is executed.

We want to cancel all Db2 THREADS with one command in a Db2 Datasharing Member.

Allow Db2 ESAF interface with IMS to use PSB in place of loadmodule

Currently when a thread is created between IMS->Db2 the Db2 ESAF exit uses the Load module name to link to a plan name of the same name (or another name if using RTT load module). In a test environment there may be a scenario where sever...

MFA should be supported when logging with Data Studio

Multifactor Authentication is not currently supported to connect to DB2 using Data Studio. We are using MFA (Factor TOTP) to connect to TSO, CICS and other products. However we cannot connect through Data Studio as it does not support MFA.
